  1. Re:Punish efficiency on How Outdated Data Distorts Doctors' Pay · · Score: 1

    So you're ok with your taxes going to pay for 26 hours of work in an 8 hour day?

    Efficiency is doing things faster AND/OR cheaper.

    Well, the current market cap is what's known as the whole company's valuation. So it's a pretty good assumption.

    Even with 25% repatriation taxes (no idea what they really are), they'd still have enough to buy it without debt.

    But since they have huge cash flows, they could also probably buy the whole thing from debt only.

    My guess is they buy TSMC and quadruple their production with the cash they already have.

    I'd be willing to bet my life that President Obama never ordered anyone to cluster bomb a village filled with women and children. It is possible that the military targeted a site thought to be a terrorist camp and it was filled with women and children.

    Yeah, if your second sentence is true, then your first sentence is false.

    I know the idealistic notion is to say "we don't need blood-money to achieve our goals". And Bill Gates certainly has enough of money to throw at problems. But I'd rather he grow his money and spend the profits on philanthropy than not give to important causes at all.

    You do realize that it's not an either/or, right?

    You can still invest well while NOT investing in companies that are going against what the foundation is supposedly trying to accomplish.

    Sorry, but what a BS answer.

    They're a foundation with billions. They don't need to maximize return with a lack of morals. They could still get very good returns without helping out companies that pollute the world. A problem the foundation is 'trying' to solve.

    So either the financial people haven't bought into the foundation's direction. Or they have.
